Simple Answer, NO.
Hill rallying is about endurance, considering the total picture, driving for a finish. It is not a dash in the forest or gravel track.
The driver and co-driver need to study the road ahead both long distance – where are we going and close up – for those stones that got dislodged.
The other reason we do not allow pace notes, here in Iceland, is to reduce ground damage and eliminates the possibility of collisions with tourists.
There are penalties if you are found with notes. However notes made when you ran a stage, that is un-repeated in the same rally, are allowed.
We do not allow GPS devices with mapping displays, including mobile phones.
A GPS device to record and show distances (Trip Meters) is allowed.
A map can be used for liaison sections.

The FIA code stipulates that all mobile phones be switched off whilst in a competitive stage.
